The intention is that the Digital Lab at the University of Manitoba become a Resource and Laboratory for the exploration of digitally driven design, prototyping and manufacturing. The desire is to foster a context through which students and faculty are better equipped to explore the potentials of digital design and manufacturing processes.

Join us this Fall for our Lunchtime Lectures and Thursday Evening Workshops!

The pavilion draws on the prototype built by Philippe Block, Matthias Rippman and Lara Davis at the ETH Zurich, with which they demonstrated the reliability of RhinoVault, a plug-in for Rhinoceros, used for the design of the constructed dome.

This year, the Faculty of Architecture is sponsoring a workshop and education series designed to introduce the tools and software available at the FABLab to all students and faculty to better understand the capabilities and procedures that are available. This workshop series will be offered at varying times and will each focus on a different aspect of the lab The hope is that these workshops inspire students for exploring a greater range of possibilities in their design and modeling work, and to inform and inspire the faculty so that these newly acquired tools might elevate the existing pedagogical directions when appropriate.
